Smashwords book reviews by Miss Mae

Jonquils in the Snow
on Feb. 09, 2010
Within the pages of this short read, Ms. Brooks has captured many facets of real life: hope, hope betrayed, love, love stolen, pain, pain healed, grief, grief soothed by laughter and happiness.
I loved how the wintry scene was a backdrop for broken hearts, and the hope of blooming jonquils a sign that the beginnings of spring brings newness and faith.
An excellent story. Thank you, Ms. Brooks, for a job well done!

The Rescue
on June 17, 2010
Ms Vickery excels at penning a riveting romance/suspense book, but now she can add SF to her growing list of expertly written genres.
This was excellent, as at first you think this is the typical crash landing on an unknown, deserted planet, but as you read further, the question becomes -- just WHO is being rescued?

A Confederate Yankee In Miss Annabelle's Court
on Nov. 06, 2010
I don't read much time travel, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. Let me just say, the danger was so imminent and I got so concerned for the hero, I sat here with toes curled, wondering if he would wind up with the heroine!
Well, I'm not about to give anything away. :) Read this absorbing, tender --yet tense-- love story for yourself.
Wonderful descriptions!

Dancing With Fate
on April 24, 2011
Beautifully written with highly visual scenes, you'll be transported to a world unlike any other. I urge everyone to read this story and learn the "fate" of a well-known character who you'll never imagine in any other way again!

Munch Ado About Nothing
on Aug. 14, 2011
What an incredible tale! Such originality and creativity! I laughed and chuckled all the way through this as I munched on my corn flakes....er, hey, there's only half a box! Who's been eating my cereal????

Exchange
on March 06, 2012
I've wanted to read this story for quite a long time, and now I have. It's excellent. Love the romance, the characters' past, the mystery of why Myah was forced to endure her "experiments". Ms. Rossano has an art of creating her descriptions to put you "there" in the setting. You felt the cold air that the jets hissed out when they wanted Myah to awaken, the dread of those awful needles about to plunge into her arms, the total confusion and disorientation of "why am I here?"
My only nitpick, if I can call it that, is for the dialogue to feel more natural, the characters should speak often in contractions. To always read "I am going" or "you will be fine" is distracting and has the tendency of jerking you from the believability of the story.
Overall, though, this story is a five-star winner, and well deserved!

A Decision of Trust
on April 29, 2013
I love Ms. Brooks' stories. I love how real she makes the characters, the settings, the situations.
In 'A Decision of Trust' we meet Amanda. Amanda is a widow from a marriage to a no-good cheating husband. Jake Tyler is the handsome lawyer that hires Amanda to work in his office. Jake is a widower, left to raise his seven-year-old son.
Amanda needs to learn how to trust men, Jake has to learn how to love another woman other than his dead wife.
One scene that I rooted for was when Amanda cleaned out her husband's clothes, took them to the garage's cement floor and beat them with a sledge hammer. Oooh, wouldn't you love for that to have been his head? LOL
Then there was the senior secretary, Corinne. Jake tries to "explain" her nasty character is because she'd had a rough childhood. No, Corinne was nasty because Corinne wanted to be nasty. You want to scratch your head and think, "Jake, you're supposed to be a smart lawyer but you can't figure this devil-woman out?" Like me tell you, that was so like a man that I wanted to shake him!
This is a beautifully written story of sweet romance with themes of forgiveness and acceptance. Trust your decision. Buy this book.
